Descripción del producto y especificaciones clave
DIN 444 swing bolts, also known as swing eye bolts or pivot eye bolts, combine a circular eye with a metric threaded shank. A pin through the eye creates a pivoting connection for swing clamps, hinged covers, machine guards, adjustable fixtures and tensioning assemblies.
DIN 444-1983 describes Type A, B and C eye forms, including large-eye variants. The available Type A dimensional reference spans M5-M39; bracketed sizes such as M27, M33 and M39 are non-preferred. Eye diameter, eye thickness, shank length and threaded length vary by type and size, so Type A dimensions must not be reused for Type B, Type C or large-eye designs without checking their drawings.
Market options include carbon steel, alloy steel and A2/A4 stainless steel, with property classes such as 4.6, 5.8 and 8.8 for steel and A2-70/A4-70 for stainless steel. Plain, electro-zinc-plated oxide, phosphate and hot-dip-galvanized steel finishes and passivated stainless finishes address different environments; not every grade, dimension and coating combination is interchangeable.
DIN 444 swing bolts are fasteners for hinged or clamping joints, not DIN 580 lifting eye bolts. The DIN 444 designation does not provide a working load limit or lifting certification.

Hinged machine connections
A pin through the eye lets a clamp, cover or guard swing open and close. Pin diameter, eye clearance and loading direction must suit the joint design.

05FAQ
Preguntas frecuentes antes del RFQ
Is a DIN 444 swing bolt suitable for lifting?
Do not treat DIN 444 as a lifting rating. A lifting application needs a separately approved design, testing and stated working load limit; DIN 580 is a different product standard.
What is the difference between DIN 444 Type A, B and C?
They are distinct eye-form designs within the DIN 444 family; large-eye variants also exist. Select the exact type and use its corresponding dimensional drawing rather than assuming the types are interchangeable.
Which materials and finishes are used for DIN 444 swing bolts?
Commercial options include carbon or alloy steel in classes 4.6, 5.8 and 8.8, plus A2/304 or A4/316 stainless steel. Steel may be plain, zinc plated oxide, phosphated or hot-dip galvanized; stainless steel may be natural or passivated. Check the grade, size and finish combination for the application.
Are the pin and nut included?
No. A compatible pin and metric nut are separate components and should be listed explicitly when a complete joint is required.
What information is needed for a quotation?
State Type A, B or C, standard or large eye, thread size and pitch, bolt and threaded lengths, eye and pin dimensions, material, property class, finish and quantity.
